Description:
iTrader for vB 3.5.x & 3.6.x has evolved from Trader Ratings for vB 3.0.x which evolved from Buy/Sell/Trade User Rating System for vB 2.x. This is a rating system for when members buy / sell / trade items from each other (presumably on a FS section of your forum). It is somewhat based on the honor system since there is no automatic way to truly tell if they did engage in a transaction. iTrader came about because it was a pain to try and maintain a single thread listing good / bad traders and so far has worked out quite well.

Features:

• Rate another member: Positive / Negative / Neutral
• Specify in each transaction: Buyer, Seller, or Trade
• Leave multiple comments about the deal
• Dates & IPs are all recorded to prevent abuse
• Specify a thread URL to the deal
• Advanced URL checking
• Display ratings over time
• Filter based on Buyer/Seller/Trade/or feedback they left for others
• Users can edit/delete ratings left for others (time based limitation)
• iTrader Admins can edit/delete anyone's ratings (just incase)
• PM notification when new rating or comment is left
• Per-usergroup permissions
• Lots of admin controllable options

Installation / Upgrade Info:
Read the included readme file, it explains everything.

Standard Disclaimer:
BACKUP YOUR DATABASE & FILES BEFORE IMPLEMENTING THIS HACK!!!

How do I get this to display in the memberlist? Simply adding a line to memberlist_resultsbit isn't enough...there is more to it than that.

Thanks!

So you got it to work?

I tried adding this

(<a href="itrader.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$post[itrader_total]</a>)

After this

<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$userinfo[userid]">$userinfo[musername]</a>

in memberlist_resultsbit....but all it showed was ( )

Even if it did work, I would consider it a temporary solution...as I'd like to see Trader Ratings as its own, separate column

[eoc_Jason]

I know the documentation is incomplete, however look what you are doing...

the variables used should be $userinfo not $post for that template.

[GTAce]

Oh :nervous:

oops, you're right

(<a href="itrader.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$userinfo[userid]">$userinfo[itrader_total]</a>)

^^^ that works...but I'd still love to see it in its own column

Jason,

I have a question. I switched the eBay Style option from No to Yes, but now I need to recalculate the point scores. You mentioned earlier in the post about a mass-update script. Where is that exactly? I know there's one in the zip file in Extas/admincp but that's for upgrading from the old to the new versions. Is there another one located somewhere?

Ryan

[eoc_Jason]

It's meant to be short... lol. Probably because I think eBay does 80, that's why I chose that number.

Anyhow, it's limited in the DB (you can change the field from 80 to 255), and in the template field form. No other length checking is done, so it would be easy to customize.

Thanks

[eoc_Jason]

In your AdminCP there should be a new section called "iTrader Options", there is currently only one choice which is to re-calc all the scores.

Ah ha I knew it must be easy. LOL. Thanks Jason, it's working great.

Hi Jason,
quick question. Might it be possible to specify the user groups/ user ids to email when there is suspicious activity? At the moment all the moderators are getting the emails and it's not appropriate.
Thanks
